DN-IV
Notes: This Mexican wheeled armored personnel carrier was thought at first to be based on the US LAV-100 and LAV-150 designs, but is in fact an indigenous design. The DN-IV looks like a blend of the LAV-150 and the Swiss MOWAG Roland, but has a beefier suspension than either of those vehicles, with bigger tires. The vehicle is topped with an open turret with a pintle-mounted machinegun. The driver has a hatch on the front left deck and there is a rear door for passengers.

DN-VI
Notes: This newer Mexican APC is similar in appearance to the 4x4 version of the French VAB wheeled armored personnel carrier, and may in fact be based on an unlicensed copy of that vehicle. The vehicle has doors on each side of the cab for the driver and commander, and a roof hatch for the gunner with a twin machinegun mount, and another, larger roof hatch for standing infantrymen. There is a twin door on the rear for the passengers. It is amphibious with preparation.
